I'm looking for a good camera to take close-ups of objects. Not necessarily macro photography, but that option would be helpful.
I'd like to be able to take a great close up of a rifle, for instance, but have the entire gun be in frame. Budget: $400 max Form factor: Micro 4/3 or point and shoot. Smaller sized. Bluetooth file transfer would be nice, but not required. Options? Much thanks. |

You might be able to pick up a canon rebel for under $400, I think a T5 is under your limit.
If I get a chance I'll look around. There are some decent point and shoot cameras out there, but something like a Rebel will give you the best bang for your buck. A canon rebel will be bulkier than say a point and shoot but I'm not sure if that matters. I would google "best cameras under $400" I'm sure there are multiple lists on the subject. Sony and Olympus as making some interesting cameras too that fit nicely in that price range |

What about flash/lighting. Does anyone use small portable LED lights for soft lighting? Other ideas welcome. Here's the thing about LEDs in general and why regular flashes make more sense LEDs simply are not bright enough to support high shutter speeds unless you have a LOT of them, which kinda counteracts the portabilty. If you're shooting a static subject from a tripod, it'll work fine. Any sort of dynamic action and LED lighting simply can't keep up for still pictures. They can be a great source of light for video, though as shutter speeds tend to be lower. The reason camera flashes work so well is they are intensely bright. The yongnuo flashes are very well reviewed in most cases and can be acquired fairly cheaply compared to a name brand flash. |
